On Anime
While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.
This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.
On Technical Discussion
While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

Fair, I guess. Though there's this quote of a (trans or xxy, can't remember) female marathonist that was under the spotlight in the olympics nearly 10 years ago. She pointed out that no one said 1 complain on Phelps having "unnatural" big lungs or higher testosterone than the average male.
That's quite revealing. To me, dividing sports by genitalia-at-birth is too arbitrary. Same goes with boxing and the weights. Obviously there is a gradient. Any lines will harm.
So... In the end is what would you rather hurt, people or your convictions on how traditionally sport X is organized. I dream we can change how these are organized in light of science... Idk if it's possible at all...
The issue is that there's only one phelps and he was born that way. There are thousands of Trans women and allowing them to compete in women's sports is going to displace most every natural born female athlete across multiple sports at multiple levels of play.
